As the Thanksgiving holiday approaches and our minds are running a million miles per hour with the thoughts of how many guests will be over, how much food will I need need, and how are we going to avoid conversations in controversial topics, our pets--specifically our dogs-- have their own thoughts running through their minds. Here are 11 thoughts your dog is thinking on Thanksgiving day.

1. Why is mom vacuuming up all my hair?

Doesn't she know I'm not a fan of that screaming machine? I don't even shed that much.

2. I can't stop sneezing

The air smells like the lotion bottle I go into a week ago and the scent is coming from fire bowls around the house. What does apple cinnamon mean?

3. The fancy room lights are on

But that's my secret hiding spot.

4. Hello people!

Don't worry, mom, I will greet all the people by jumping on them. And I will continue to jump even when you tell me to "stay down". Wow there are so many people to welcome!

5. What is Dad cooking?

That smells like a Turkey! I will sit right next to him in case he needs an assistant chef or a taste-tester!

6. Small human, this is not what I thought you meant by "play"

I thought you were going to throw the toy, not put it in my ear. Who do you belong to?

7. Everyone is lining up in the kitchen, I guess I'll join

They are all holding circles that look a lot like my dish bowl. How can I get one of those?

8. What is Mom is holding?

It looks fancy.

9. They're saying grace

Here's my chance to blend in and get my piece of Turkey.

10. I wonder what the humans look like at the table

I'm sure I would fit right in

11. Finally found a spot to watch football

Mom is probably proud of me because I let someone else take my normal seat. I don't know what's so interesting about watching a ball been thrown across a field if you can't even go after it yourself.

12. All the humans are napping, I guess I will too

I've finally convinced them all to follow my lead: eat and sleep all day!

13. Did someone say walk?

Two minutes ago all the humans were asleep on the couch and now they want to talk me for a walk!

14. Does this mean I get to wake up and do this again tomorrow?

I liked these days with my humans. Let's do it again!

15. I'm so thankful today!

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
